Theme of the Seminar
South Asian Literature has a rich and diverse literary tradition that encompasses the literary works produced in the countries of South Asia which includes India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Bhutan, and the Maldives. South Asian countries have a long history of political turmoil and instability. Writers project the various forms of oppression and marginalization that existed in their regions along with their unique customs, traditions, and folklores.
South Asian Literature continues to be a source of inspiration, knowledge and diverse cultural exchange for people around the world. Studying South Asian Literature not only provides academic input but also widens a deeper understanding of a rich pluralistic cultural heritage with global significance. The seminar on Pluralism and Diversity in South Asian Literature offers a wide scope to analyse the history of South Asian nations, their socio-political, cultural and linguistic diversities, crosscultural ethos, and literary innovations alongside their global dimensions.
